ISMR
The industrial metaverse ( IMV ) is set to greatly enhance manufacturing engineering , training , safety and production . According to a new report from ABI Research , spending on industrial metaverse solutions and services will grow at 22.8 % to reach US $ 6.3 billion by 2030 as immersive and collaborative capabilities come to the forefront of Industry-4.0 software development efforts
In this March 2024 issue of ISMR , which will be distributed at STOM-Tool in Poland as well as Global Industrie in France , we outline types , trends and technology shifts in global industrial fastener markets ( page 22 ). We also analyse growth patterns in global medical device markets for sheet metal manufacturers ( page 30 ) and highlight hydroforming ’ s increasing popularity as a manufacturing method across various industry sectors ( page 34 ).
Machine tool markets ; macro-economic forecasts ; business surveys ; trade projections and industrial activity in France are chronicled on page 38 . Don ’ t forget to read our research news section on page 20 , with new and collaborative worldwide initiatives . We also present a selection of the latest new global fibre laser cutting innovations in the market , for sheet metal manufacturers , on page 50 . Surface finishing , shipbuilding and digitalisation also come under the spotlight .
We are very pleased and proud to celebrate ISMR ’ s 25th anniversary this year . We wish to celebrate this milestone event with our readers , supporters and advertisers and would like to thank you all for your support over the years .
